Building upon years of City and community advocacy, the Louisville Downtown & NuLu Walkability Plan, completed with Stantec Urban Places, redesigns Louisville’s Downtown and NuLu streets from curb-to-curb to be safer for all users. The Plan takes a broad approach to creating a more walkable—and livable—Downtown and NuLu through low-cost, quick-build interventions that will have the largest measurable impact on the number of people walking and biking, with minimal investment. Key modifications include restoring nearly all one-way streets to two-way travel, replacing excess lanes with new on-street parking, vastly enlarging the bicycle network, and converting signalized intersections to all-way stops. Because most changes can be accomplished with paint rather than reconstruction, the project can be completed quickly and affordably, and the first year of construction has already been funded.
